A British sporting hero, whose cricketing exploits did much to lift morale in the post-Second World War years. A brilliant middle-order batsman: who can forget the 'Compton Sweep' and the record 3,816 runs scored in the summer of 1947, many in partnership with Bill Edrich for Middlesex and England? However, his achievements were not confined to cricket; he was the left-winger in Arsenal's FA Cup-winning team of 1950. In conversation with GERALD wiluams, Denis Compton reflects on his sporting life, expresses strong views on the current state of cricket and celebrates his latest career figures on becoming a father for the fifth time at the age of 66!
